Looks like one of those days

At 6.20 this morning someone put a clothing collection bag through letter box.At 9.15 the post came really early and delivered new British Gas Nectar card - must register it.At 9.30 Parcel Force knocked to ask if we'd take in parcel for people across the road.At least the sun is shining

Yup -power supply blip at 08:30 this morningRouter stats nowNoise Margin: 4.8 dBConnection Rate: 5056 KbpsLine Attenuation: 50.0 dBChance of holding that overnight - somewhere between nil and no chanceSo now I am going to need to monitor the noise margin and when it drops to about 3.5dB try a resync to get it back to just over 4,500kbps

I use the collection bags to collect rubbish and then bin them.There's more security registering a Nectar card on line than with credit cards and bank accounts. For what they're worth I now get points for doing monthly gas meter read.

Re: Looks like one of those days

I do my own meter reading and get nothing for it The bags will no doubt end up lying on landfill for generations....unlike Tesco bags.I used to save my Tesco bags and store things in them. Now they are bio-degradable I take one from the sink cupboard that's been in a few months and it falls apart in my hands.They should have a use by date on. I suppose Tesco have to make sure they are used quickly or they will be degrading in the car park and dumping people's shopping.

Re: Looks like one of those days

Sadly mine usually go straight from the letterbox to the bin along with the Yell.com book.

Ours have frequently become the bin when running out of black sacks. As someone else above pointed out its a commercial thing now and years ago the genuine charities used to come back and collect the bags that weren't filled to be put through another letter box. These new charities don't even do that so they can clearly afford to waste money.

Re: Looks like one of those days

I have had 10 "charity" plastic bags put through my door in last 7 days! I too never fill them and use them for garden rubbish - saves buying black bags!My post actually came this morning which makes a change as over the last few weeks it has been coming in the afternoon!

Re: Looks like one of those days

Yes I used to put the bags on the step for collection....and they weren't.

Exactly. We had about 6 of them that we left on the doorstep for weeks on end at one point. As soon as they came through the letterbox I'd stick them back out for collection.. and they'd never get collected. They can't be that hard up for cash then can they.
